A large piece of artwork by the notorious street artist showed a workman chipping away at one of the 12 stars on the European flag.
The mural close to the Kent port town's ferry terminal features the character on a ladder removing one of the bright yellow stars.
Representatives for the elusive guerrilla artist from Bristol confirmed that the piece was by him.

Banksy also posted images on his verified Instagram account.
The artwork in a town that acts as one of Britain's main gateways to the Continent comes as the UK is in the middle of a General Election campaign and Brexit.
The piece is also just a short crossing from Calais where Banksy sent most of his exhibitions from his Dismaland art project in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, to be used as shelter for migrants.
